The Tobacco Habit.

Recently it was announced that a young
man named Knevals, whose father was the
law partner of the late President Arthur.
was found dead in his bed in New York
city just at the hour of his fathers return
home from a trip to Europe He was
young man Of fine physique and seemed
healthy and vigorous. Indeed, so strong did
he appear that it was hard for his friends
10 believe that he died a natural death. and
his case was so much mystery that al au-
topsy was made by distinguished surgeons,
which disclosed the fact that he was killed
by cigarettes, of which he was an exces-
sive smoker. 1t was found that the func-
tions Of the heart were so impaired that it
had become feeble organ, and its feeble
fiutterings produced congestion of the
his death. The habit of smoking cigar
cites was contracted when he was "A boy,
and from that time the deadly undermin-
ing was going on until he died. The warn
ing is one Of many which ought to produce
a salutary effect, but nevertheless boys by
the thousand and hundred thousand will 60
on contracting the tobacco habit, while
their parents will look on with complacent
ignorance, or at most with few words of
feeble protest. Tobacco heart has be

ical faculty, and it is said that it excludes
young men more than any other from en-
trance at West Point.

State papers are criticising the railway
commission, and the Vermont state grange.
in its petition TO the governor, declares that
the commission has proved utterly made
quate' to remedy the evils Of which it com
plains The commission has been in exist
encc less than a year, and it seems u be
premature to pronounce Judgment upon the
value or the efficiency of its service The
statement of the grange does not, as we un-
derstand the matter, imply any direct cen
sure upon the commission. The board has
proved utterly inadequate to remedy Ger
tain evils, because the courts have decided
that those evils cl4n be remedied only under
laws passed by Congress. And Yet it is
doubtless true that the state board is tut
terly inadequate to remedy other evils, the
control Of which is clearly with the range
Of the constitutional right of the state If
the state has not conferred upon the com
mission power enough n reform local abuses,
the fault Is III the legislature. and the rem
edy must first Ice sought from that body,
and the voters must elect for senator's and

favor, will pass such laws as they demand

A leading Washington correspondent
calls attention to the fact, well-known to
experienced observers, that Washington
within the past five years has made mar
Vicious strides as the social metropolis Of
the country. Yearly increasing numbers
of the members Of polite society in other
cities are attracted there during the CAV
season. and it is probable that in the not
distant future the city on the Potomac will
he acknowledged as the centre of Ameri-
can social life. This is due to the inevita-
BILE tendency observed in all the leading
countries of the globe. to make the political
also the social capital. 1t is a matter for
congratulation that such prominence is
destined for our own national capital.
Apart from its effects in the mere world of
fashion there is in it no little practical sig
nificance. Whatever tends to render the
capital of the Republic attractive to the
wealth and culture of the different sections
so far strengthen the bonds of national un-
ion. The social relations formed at Wash

try may prove TO be among the most DO

The English tory ministry have taken
radical step under the coercion act and pro-
claimed the Irish National League. or in
other words have declared it to be an or
ganization dangerous to the peace and safe
ty Of the country. The league having been
proclaimed, the lord lieutenant is given ex-
IRENE and arbitrary power in the suppress
sion of associations or meetings in any Civ
en- district and lrshmen can now be thrown
into prison for simply expressing an opin-
ion in political club Such an extreme
action on the part Of the government puts
a tremendous weapon into the hands of Mr.
Gladstone and his supporters, and it is only
question Of little time when the liberal
party will return to power. In nearly ev-
cry case where elections have been held
since the passage of the crimes bill became
assured, the Gladstonians have been victo-
rious. In many cases the seats had been
vacated by liberal unionists or tories, which
more thoroughly emphasizes the verdict of
the people against coercion and oppression.

So Very Queer.

She's very queer, yet kind to those
Who hear her story out;
The Young folks thinks she hardly know
Just what she talks about
His eyes, she says, were brighter far
Than all the worlds above,
For they brought nearer than star
The gentle light OF love.
Yes, she is queer, we all confess,
And vet her wrnkled face
Has such a wealth of tenderness,
She needs no youthful gracc;--
She talks of one so long away
And hearts so FAR apart;
She saws, 1t seems but yesterday
That he was near her heart.
IT'S hard 10 make her comprehend
That she has told before
The story Of sailors end
Upon friendless shore:-
She says, he was to duty true
And bravely met his doom,
Insisting that his eyes of blue
Still guide her through the gloom.
Perhaps when we approach the shore
Where worldly journeys end,
We too. may tell our stories DER
And Younger ears otfend;-
For age has thought from youth apart,
And only time can teach
The charity of mind and heart
That ought 10 govern each.
